well....im new here! so hello everyone!
ive been on quite a few meds over the past few years and never really found much benefit from them.
my dx's are borderline personality disorder, severe depression, an eating disorder(currently at bay) and self harm.
the latest med i tried was mirtazapine(zispin) and i did find it helped lift my mood a small amount, and it certainly helped with my anxiety...but the sleepiness was causing a problem for me, a large part of my depression is wanting to hide away in bed so feeling horrible groggy and overly sleepy in the morning was quite a problem for me as i find it worsens the depression. so i have stopped taking them.
meds i have tried...prozac, sertraline, citalopram, mirtazapine and olanzapine.
any advise/suggestions would be appreciated.
also i suffer from quite bad mood swings....i spoke a little to a pdoc about it(i find it hard to verbalise my feelings etc)...but he discounted it(as he did with most of my symptoms) and blamed it all on the pd. which isnt particuarly helpful for me! the whole session must have only been about 5-10mins(considering it was the first time i had seen him!) the mood swings are quite severe and rapid and are very difficult to cope with for me and my b/f....i get so angry/aggitated/anxious....i end up hitting myself just to relieve some of it!
everything seems so hopeless and i just want to give in to it all....
i just want to crawl into a hole and disapear!:(
